Never stopped running, and looked really really comfortable in that midfield. Keep him there for Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I love Maddison and it would be great to have him here but comparing him with Paquata is just wrong. Paquata is a complete footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Willock is a starter regardless of who we get he is growing a lot and he will only get better in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 In theory Willock has the tools to play right in the forward 3. Practice and theory don’t always play out though. one thing I’d like to see us doing is switching wingers during a game. 10-15 mins of ASM feeding off Trippier and Bruno would be fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really rate Madison, he'd be great for us, but I just think an all Brazilian midfield is something you can't look past. It would be the sexiest midfield in Britain.

Kid Icarus Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If the feeling is that Paqueta is definitely better than Bruno and he's half the price of Maddison, who despite being good is also pretty patchy, it's a no-brainer in favour of Paqueta imo.

I doubt we’d get either. But if we had the choice I would definitely choose Paqueta. Paqueta is rated even higher than Bruno that’s how good he is. I’m confident if he comes to the league Paqueta will also be one of the best midfielders. Not to mention the chemistry he has with Bruno already.

TRon Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Didn't the Arsenal DoF deny their interest in Paqueta? Something along the lines of they liked him but wouldn't be pursuing him. That could mean the price was too high, or I'm hoping his agent has told them he's only got eyes for Tyneside to reunite with his great friend Bruno!

Shak Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Just imagined what the reaction on here would be like if we signed Maddison and Paqueta. God, it would be immense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthy Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) If you like Lucas Paqueta and getting goals home and away sign this mad lad up. I dream of an all Brazilian midfield Bruno slicing the defense open, Paqueta latching on and Big Joe just making sure he gets through, the dream right there.

Optimistic Nut Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'd love Paqueta but probably in the minority of preferring Maddison. Just think Maddison would have been a sure fire thing with us. Chances are Paqueta will too but there's more of a risk for probably a similar end product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Don't care too much either way, I'd be buzzing with either. Probably swaying more towards Pacqueta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison would give us more end product for one player stats. Honestly think Paqueta would give the team more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quite a few would prefer Maddison simply because you know he will get goals and assists as he's proven in the Premier. Sadly Maddison isn't going to happen this season at least.

nufc123 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 One of them would be amazing. Paqueta is a better allround player, but Maddison is better in attack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
